Notice of Medicare Benefit Changes must inform the insured of changes to which items?

• A. The insured
• B. The insurer
• C. The beneficiary
• D. The producer

Answer: (A)

When a Medicare plan updates what it covers or how much it costs, the notice goes to the person who holds the coverage—the insured. This notice explains changes to benefits, premiums, and cost-sharing (like deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance) so the enrolled individual can decide how to proceed, such as staying with the plan or exploring alternatives during enrollment periods. The focus is on informing the insured, not the insurer or the producer.
